About 120km from Ho Chi Minh City, it will take more than 2 hours drive for tourists to reach Tan Lap floating village, then take a canoe to enter the Melaleuca forest.
Melaleuca forest was originally a wild wetland, close to the Cambodian border, linked with the Dong Thap Muoi area, forming a large green area with a system of interlaced canals, along with the Vam Co Tay River flowing through.
When tourists arrive at the forest, they will visit the place by walking on the road through the place, and by a small, winding trail through the forest.

The road is about 5 km long, which is wide enough for 2 people to go together, passing more than 100ha of Melaleuca forest. Along the two sides of the road, there are tall melaleuca trees, grasses, wild plants, or patches of moss and fallen leaves on the ground. All of them create a road that is both mysterious and wild, but extremely attractive in the eyes of young travelers and aspiring photographers.
In order to have the best experience exploring the Tan Lap melaleuca forest, tourists should avoid coming here during the rainy season, since the road is flooded. Sunny days are the most perfect choice for you to visit, especially from August to November of the lunar calendar, since it is the season when lotus flowers bloom.
